Descripción editorial
New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren returns with an unforgettable romance in which a fateful accident erases a troubled marriage from memory—and a scientific breakthrough gives love one extraordinary do-over.
Three years ago, scientist Emery Finch did something completely out of character: She got married. To Luca—the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering night in Vegas who made her laugh, made her dance, made her feel.
But now, Emery is consumed by her top research, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge discoveries come to light. Until the unthinkable happens: A tragic accident takes Luca from her.
Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule, using the classified technology she’s developed to bring him back to life. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together...all of it is gone.
It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it’s her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won’t waste it—because true love is always worth reviving.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Lauren, the pen name for writing partners Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (Tangled Up in You), delivers tender vulnerability and meaningful character growth in this sweetly spicy romance. Dr. Emery Martín has it all: a job at a biomedical company that allows her to follow her passion; a fierce best friend in veterinarian Annie; and a husband, Luca, who perfectly balances her out. But due to the top secret nature of her work developing technology that, she hopes, might have prevented the deaths of her parents, she's forced to keep things from Luca, straining their marriage. Then Luca dies and a desperate Emery uses the experimental procedure she's developed to bring him back. It works—but he doesn't remember anything about their life together. For such an intense setup, the ensuing romance is surprisingly fluffy as Emery gets a second chance to be the partner she wishes she could have been and build a better, stronger relationship with Luca. As they endearingly rediscover the chemistry and love that brought them together in the first place, they're able to grow both as people and as a couple. Readers hoping for a more high-octane plot involving Emery's secret lab work may be disappointed by how little is done with it, but it's impossible not to root for this devoted couple. Luca and Emery are adorable.
